If your Divorce is a lemon don’t make lemonade, make a Divorce Cake!
On a typical Saturday, Elite Cake Creations delivers 18 wedding cakes. But it recently added a novelty to its traditional line: divorce cakes. No milestone should go unnoticed — even divorces, said co-owner Beatriz Otero.
Divorce cakes look like wedding cakes, but the decoration depicts scenes of domestic discord, not bliss. For example, a heart-shaped cake broken in pieces featuring a groom standing on one piece, the bride on another; or a man sits dejected on a curb or a cemetery of broken marriages is marked by tiny tombstones.
Recently divorced Tony Farina of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., had purchased cakes from Elite before. On a recent visit, he was in the market for closure. He’s getting a cake for himself and two friends also recently divorced. They’ll get all their buddies together and — eat cake.
So if you are struggling with how to tell all of your friends that you are ‘all right’ and ready to move on with your life, now you have the perfect event: Throw a party and include a divorce cake! Now you can have your divorce cake and eat it too!
